i finally finished the satanic verses!!! of course..the only reason i read it is cos it's banned in so many places. and it's one of the toughest books i've ever read. i cannot recall in instance i felt in the loop with the plot..haha..i struggled through the book..and i can tell you the gist of it all..but i'm not sure it'll be the right gist. but hey...i quite enjoyed reading it. it's not that salman rushdie writes brilliantly..he's quite dry at times really..but his dry and sardonic wit makes the book pretty enjoyable..despite the most convoluted plot i've ever encountered. i actually recall instances i chuckled to myself in the train..while reading this book. of course..there were also times the paranoid me wondered if the book shld see the light of day..considering any police officer can confiscate it at any one point in time. if they knew. (:
on to lolita now..which shld hopefully be good..apparently funny..and very romantic..wei's lit text..let's see if i pick out the little innuendo-s...i hope Nabokov truly writes in a lyrical manner. it's been awhile since i've read good writing..since harry potter..i think. well..of course that could be cos i spent most of post-HBP on the satanic verses..but that's just a minor point! (:
